Goshen, New York — A judge Tuesday morning sentenced a 21-year-old Port Jervis woman to eight years in prison for having intercourse with a 10-year-old boy she was babysitting.

Brandy Decker (pictured left) pleaded guilty May 5 in Orange County Court to a felony charge of first-degree course of sexual conduct against a minor.

Police said an investigation revealed that Decker engaged in multiple sexual acts with the boy, including sexual intercourse, over a period of several months between late 2007 and the middle of 2008.

“Brandy, your monstrous behavior has set into motion a cycle of pain that will be with our family for the rest of our lives,” the boy’s grandmother told Decker as she delivered a victim impact statement on behalf of the boy’s family.

Decker did not speak.

Her lawyer, Kevin Walsh of the Orange County Legal Aid Society, pointed out to Judge Nicholas DeRosa that a clinical assessment of Decker that was done before the sentencing found that she has a lower risk of recidivism than others charged with the same crime and that she’ll respond well to treatment.

Walsh also pointed out that Decker has “a number of difficulties, including educational and physical problems.”

Those problems are contained in sealed records that were not disclosed in detail in court.
